Why we like it
Cloth was the chosen medium of menstrual hygiene until disposables claiming convenience and comfort flooded the market. Cloth pads and liners are soft and safe for the delicate areas of a woman's body which are prone to rash and discomfort when they remain in constant touch with the harsh chemicals and absorbent gels in plastic pads. They are also superior from an environmental standpoint and help you greatly reduce the trash you produce from singleuse products.
